Hi Guys,

Just wondering if any of you could suggest a reputable financier for the purchase of my R33 GT-R. I am in Queensland. The car is a 95' and having a bit of difficulty (not because of my financial circumstances but just the first hurdle of it being an import).

Any help much appreciated.

You will find most vehicle finance companies wont touch you due to the car being an import with no set "market" value that they can check.

You will more than likely need to go for a personal loan of some description

what blitz says.. anything above $20k has to be secured generally... Under $20k is the maximum of a personal loan, above that it has to be secured. Sometimes that can be the vehicle itself but it has to be under X years old (usually this varies), and they only want something aussie that can be auctioned off later and easy sale if you default.

If you bought a brand new HSV there would be no problems, even if it cost twice as much :D

predator: so true

and yes XLR8 what predator says is the truth unfortunately. as its a grey import you can't use it as security. Whereas if go buy a 80k HSV you can use that or vice versa and get a car loan for it instead

I got mine via NLC, who got it via macquarie. I had to put down a 30% deposit.

Its also a lease, not a loan against the car - i did it this way for tax reasons (novated lease)

Try Macquarie - www.macquarie.com.au

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)

      I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
